Ok, first of all thank you all for your responses I appreciate the help. As to the question of what calls I was making all my references to crypt and code that included it was stock Rom. It was just being compiled by g++ instead of gcc.
As to how it got fixed there's two ways that it will work, one as Edwin suggested including crypt.h does work. I did do man before, but only saw to include <unistd.h> not crypt.h but when you do that it works. Also my buddy coder found that if you define crypt as an extern "c" in the merc.h file. Then it compiles and works fine that way too. So either include the right header file for c++, or make crypt an C extern and it works right.
